Our Mission
Because music performance enhances child development, improves the
quality of daily life, and becomes a lifelong hobby, Johnstonbaugh's
Music Centers is committed to helping beginners learn to play a musical
instrument and supporting school music programs and other likeminded
organizations. In pursuit of this goal, Johnstonbaugh's will treat its
employees, customers, and vendors fairly and with respect and integrity.
Johnstonbaugh's will stress appropriate products and services focused
on beginning students of all ages, while also serving as a resource for
advanced and professional musicians, thereby growing the organization
and furthering its reputation as the most respected community resource
of its type in Western Pennsylvania.

About Johnstonbaugh's Music Centers
Located in southwestern Pennsylvania, Johnstonbaugh's Music Centers was started
in 1982 as a band instrument repair shop and in 1984 began renting instruments.
Services continued to expand, and in 1989 the Penn Hills store opened and
became the first full-service music center in the community. Convinced of
the value of a community-based concept to its mission, the Gibsonia store
was added in 1995. Our new South Hills store, located in the Chartiers Valley
Shopping Center in Bridgeville, had its grand opening in February 2006.

Today, Johnstonbaugh's Music Centers offers a wide range of personalized
services and accessories for individuals and schools in the Pittsburgh
area, including sales and rentals of band instruments and orchestral strings; in-house brass, woodwind, string, and percussion repair and
maintenance; print music and accessory sales; and private instruction by
qualified music educators.
